Not even sure how they made that legal. You can go up years with emissions, but not backwards.

Sounds good.

Come to Alabama. If it runs and the lights work, it's pretty much legal here.

Well, "legal" might be a stretch....

You and me both. The V8 was ment to be in the HHR along with IRS.
I guess if the ECM shows no faults it's good to go. Along with good brakes, lights, ect.

I freaking love that. Wondering exactly what kind of shoehorn he used to get it in there!
The HHR really looks like it was meant to be a tire-smoker ... but it would absolutely have to be RWD or it would be ridiculous to drive I think.

Yeah but they couldn't sell an HHR that would compete in the same class as the Camaro SS or Corvette! Too bad the HHR was such a niche vehicle in its day, now it seems the wagon/quirky unique style is making a comeback! If they had only waited a few years to start production LOL.
